Abstract
AbstractLignocellulosic biomass has been explored for the synthesis of various value-added materials due to its wide availability and environment-friendly nature. Apart from being studied as a potential feedstock for the synthesis of fine chemicals and generation of biofuels, these biomasses have also shown a wide range of applications in effluent treatment processes. Many agricultural waste biomasses had shown potential in effluent treatment, even in their raw form. Activated carbon prepared by the pyrolysis of biomass has yielded promising results as adsorbents and catalysts support the removal of both conventional and priority pollutants from effluents. Moreover, composite materials including metal oxide composites, magnetic materials, catalyst supports, polymer composites, and graphene composites prepared by the thermochemical conversion of biomass are being explored in tertiary treatment processes for the removal of targeted pollutants from the aqueous phase. Hence, this chapter is aimed to discuss the application of biomass-based value-added materials for effluent treatment applications.KeywordsThermochemical conversionBiomass-based compositesActivated carbonEffluent treatmentEmerging contaminants
